Opens tomorrow, just watched something on YT with The Darkness brothers, no mention of basses

I got one with my jive today.

Could that be the same Dawn After Dark who used to support Balaam And The Angel? I caught them in the aptly named After Dark Club in Reading many years ago....great gig. I'm sure I have some pics somewhere.

Used Bax for the first time, lucky to find the item in stock as everywhere else I'd tried had no idea when they could get it. It was also the cheapest. Delivered by Parcel Force two days later in perfect condition. Can't say I'd heard of them before but will be the first place I look next time.

with Dave Bronze playing the P that Keith Richards used playing with The Dirty Mac.

The gamble paid off....Just to confirm the Epiphone EB-3 Long Scale case is a great fit for my '73 short scale.

I've gone for the Epiphone EB-3 Case and my EB-3 is short scale, so I'm hoping It'll be fine....I'll find out in a few days....fingers crossed.

Cheers snorkie and Paul....I've gambled on the Epiphone case....on it's way.

Does anyone know if I can gat a new case for my eb3...I see on the Gibson site there is one but are the latest eb3's the same fit, or the Epiphone one?

on some dodgy bathroom scales 4.4kg so yeah its got some weight for the size, can't say I'd noticed but I usually play a Yam BB2000.

Correct neepheid....it's a '73

Just gave that a try playing along to Cum On Feel The Noise, great fun.

I've always wanted one and was lucky enough to get this a few days ago. Gunna have to start learning some Free but have been having a go at reggae today, not something I usually play. Straight into a Marshall in GarageBand and I think it sounds pretty good. Got band practice this coming Saturday afternoon and can't wait to see how it sounds through my LM3 into two Barefaced One10's.

I bought Dave's Eb3, I mentioned I liked a bit of Free and Dave gave me some pointers on how I may go about attempting to achieve that Andy Fraser sound. As said by others here, great communication all the way through and a really nice bloke. I would highly recommend.

Well it's taken over 20 years but I decided to do a fret polish on my P bass as they were turning green in places. I was so happy with the result I restrung it with the rounds that were on it instead of the new flats I'd bought....sorted now though.

I use Shure SRH940 for practice and for mixing through GarageBand. They look awful imo but sound great and I wear them for hours on end with no discomfort.

Interesting, I've got one and almost bought another from Reading last year, it was a natural finish one not the burst which I have....still regret not getting it.

I've had my BassRig '64 a few months now and I so happy with it. I practice at home using GarageBand on my Mac whilst playing along to iTunes tracks or YouTube. Since getting the '64 I just don't want to put my bass down. I can get some great tones and when playing along to YouTube tracks where the bass has been removed I'm as happy as a pig in stinky poo. I must admit at first I was a little overwhelmed with it but after a week or so of just playing around I started to get the feel of it. I got to grips with changing the blend and drive whilst leaving the output set in place keeping the volume at one level mostly. At first I was getting a synthy tone where I pushed the drive too much and I thought that's a tone I'll never use but a band member asked if we could try cover a Muse number and this pedal gets pretty close to the sound. The band I'm with like overdriven bass in a lot of their numbers which previously wasn't my kind of sound but I'm starting to enjoy with the BassRig. I paid full price for this and think it's well worth it. I really think it the best thing I've bought since my BB2000 back in the 80's... no joke. Right... back to playing.

Love that BB

love this music...love the videos also.

Took a 1999 Fender American Standard Precision as a trade against one of these today. Had 3 to try one being a sunburst, which I would have preferred but would have been happy with a blonde. Surprisingly I returned home with my bass as I was pretty sure I would have pulled the trigger on one of the 54's on offer. I wasn't too impressed with the set up on 2 of them but 1 was bang on for me and also this one also had the best grain showing though. Sadly though I just wasn't feeling any of them. I understand some can't get on with the neck but this was fine for me and I can't put my finger on what it was but we just didn't gel. Have to say the staff at Absolute Music Bournemouth were excellent in every way, also had a tech there to adjust anything if need be.

I'd been to many CH gigs and have a couple of their Cds, STFCS and PM. I bumped into you while on holiday in Lynmouth many years back, chatting about your Orange set up.
